Hao Xuan's consciousness thoughtlessly landed on the barren surface of the planet as he felt something go through him.
*Wssssh*
It seemed like a sense of emptiness that had overtaken him all of a sudden.
'Is this because of a lack of spiritual energy? I've never felt anything like this before.'
Hao Xuan knew that the void sapped away spiritual energy especially from unprotected planets without a world spirit but this really was a new feeling.
He felt like the strings holding him down had been severed and within the emptiness, he had and found something to hold onto as if there was something else waiting for him all along.
But when he tried to focus on this feeling it faded away instantly, akin to holding water through an open hand.
Hao Xuan pulled out his consciousness and the emptiness vanished while the connection to his surroundings was established once again. He unclasped his hands breaking the link and forcing his soul out of the webway.
